Really?

Are they the same company as the one Mark Kent works for?

That's very odd considering this is what they say:

"At BT Global, our crown jewels are the services we supply to our
customers. With jNetX we own the intellectual property for our services,
allowing us to evolve the services as and when required."

The two key words in this drivel: "works for". Stop pronouncing it "is
enslaved by". Your obsession with this irrelevance proves nothing.

Goldfarb is a known troll. He attempts to create trouble. Best
to ignore him. If you do answer please ensure that you replace
the heavy cross-posting with a follow-up to a single newsgroup.

Mark Kent is a hypocrite and nothing you flubber about is going to change
that fact....

It's like Billy Graham preaching the Gospel all day long and then at night
going to the local booby bar....

Preferably the one he reads and not this one.

Those of us with filters aren't interested in the tail end of some
childish argument.

Moshe is in my troll filter.
I would like to call on his mother to check his posting habits and start
giving him the warmth he so clearly misses.

Don't worry Linonut, you'll still win the *lapdog* of the year award.
Nobody is a better lapdog than you are.

A *reliable source* told me that BTW..

Working at BT, I have to say the S L O W E S T and most unstable part of
all the systems is internal email. Even with a 'farm' of expensive
Microsoft 2003 servers + exchange servers, Acitve Directory Servers,
Catalogue servers + all the necessary gateway virus & spyware scanning it
still is still slow and ****e.

The *nix driven systems, which have stood the test of time, are still
serving up millions of customers details, day in, day out.

No wonder that BT have made much of their software cross-platform with
Java. You can ignore the security issues, you can ignore the performance
issues, but in hard economic times sooner or later that smiling sales rep
from Microsoft and his 'corporate deal' stop looking so attractive when
compared to 'free'.
